It was 2007 and my collaboration with The Southpaw Players was becoming more serious. We were offered a show at The Orbit Room on the Night Before Thanksgiving and took it even though we didn’t have a drummer. Soon after Jacob Schaub joined the group and we had been playing some smaller shows any where we could in preparation for our November 21st gig.
I remember I was sick and stressed in the days leading up to the show. This was recorded at about two in the morning following our last rehearsal. If you listen, you can hear me switching between things I had written and freestyles, feeling confident, but also thinking about our unknown futures.
Another memory that comes to mind, is playing this for a group of people following the show and describing how it had been written. We were at a house I was renting, in what would eventually become known as a black mold infested basement studio we had set up. All of the lights were off and people were celebrating, great night.
Click HERE and you can see the first couple songs from the show I’m talking about, just watched myself and am amazed at the vast difference in our performance here compared to our “last show”. Hahaha
